Most recently, pediatricians stated: cow's milk and hen's eggs - food, it is not suitable baby food, because it can cause allergic reactions and is difficult to digest body. Now scientists have come to different conclusions.
According to recent research published in the American «Pediatrics» Medical Journal, made this conclusion: if you feed the kids eggs with a six-month of age, will help their development and reduce the risk of a shortfall in growth. In addition, as noted in the report, no allergy symptoms in children who participated in the study were noted.
Other studies published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, found that children from 2 to 6 years, which drinking cow's milk were higher on growth of those whose parents fed counterparts vegetable-based or other milk animals.
Professor Laura Yannoti at Washington University in St. Louis and his colleagues conducted an experiment, which was attended by 163 children aged 6 to 9 months. Half of the kids every day for six months from the menu included an egg, the second half of the parents fed at its discretion. According to the professor, the first group of children to 47% less likely to have stunted and 74% less likely insufficient weight for his age.
Professor says that the eggs and milk are readily available natural sources of proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals. Eggs also contain choline, which is an essential nutrient for growth, brain function, amino acid synthesis. Of course, there is also a professor, eggs are not the only product that helps children grow, kids also need fruits, vegetables, whole-grain cereals.
As shown by the results of another study in which 5000 children aged 2 to 6 years, an important position in baby food takes cow's milk participated. Indicators of this test showed that the difference in growth between the children of three years old, who daily drank a cup of cow's milk and those who did not, on average - 1.5 cm.
Scientists attribute this to the fact that in two cups of cow's milk - 16 grams of protein, and it is 100% for the rate of three baby. And in the same amount of almond milk - 4 g protein.
